He introduced me to Zbigniew Herbert and one of my favorite poems of his expresses the idea of moral necessity<\/em> as perfectly as the concept is embraced by my incredible 30-year-old. \u00a0Happy almost Birthday, mein S\u00fcssen!!!! Keep the spark alive.<\/p>\n

\n
Go where those others went to the dark boundary<\/div>\n
for the golden fleece of nothingness your last prize<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
go upright among those who are on their knees<\/div>\n
among those with their backs turned and those toppled in the dust<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
you were saved not in order to live<\/div>\n
you have little time you must give testimony<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
be courageous when the mind deceives you be courageous<\/div>\n
in the final account only this is important<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and let your helpless Anger be like the sea<\/div>\n
whenever you hear the voice of the insulted and beaten<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
let your sister Scorn not leave you<\/div>\n
for the informers executioners cowards\u2014they will win<\/div>\n
they will go to your funeral and with relief will throw a lump of earth<\/div>\n
the woodborer will write your smoothed-over biography<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and do not forgive truly it is not in your power<\/div>\n
to forgive in the name of those betrayed at dawn<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
beware however of unnecessary pride<\/div>\n
keep looking at your clown\u2019s face in the mirror<\/div>\n
repeat: I was called\u2014weren\u2019t there better ones than I<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
beware of dryness of heart love the morning spring<\/div>\n
the bird with an unknown name the winter oak<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
light on a wall the splendour of the sky<\/div>\n
they don\u2019t need your warm breath<\/div>\n
they are there to say: no one will console you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
be vigilant\u2014when the light on the mountains gives the sign\u2014arise and go<\/div>\n
as long as blood turns in the breast your dark star<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
repeat old incantations of humanity fables and legends<\/div>\n
because this is how you will attain the good you will not attain<\/div>\n
repeat great words repeat them stubbornly<\/div>\n
like those crossing the desert who perished in the sand<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and they will reward you with what they have at hand<\/div>\n
with the whip of laughter with murder on a garbage heap<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
go because only in this way will you be admitted to the company of cold skulls<\/div>\n
to the company of your ancestors: Gilgamesh Hector Roland<\/div>\n
the defenders of the kingdom without limit and the city of ashes<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Be faithful Go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
